“There are so many more good people than bad people…actually, I don’t think there are any bad people. There are people who do bad things. But there aren’t bad people.” Buck O’Neil
If you watch or listen to the conduits of media these days, it’s very difficult to agree with Mr. O’Neil. But I want to, desperately. Reading this article about a man who lived a rich and graceful life in the midst of injustice helps me regain hope that there are many good people in this world.
Buck O’neil was perhaps the greatest unwatched baseball player ever. It’s a shame that his talents were seen by so few. Remarkably, the quality of his humanity was greater than his skill on the diamond. Thanks to my friend Doug Sanders for sending this Joe Posnanski article to me.
